How To Book a Great Trip Without a Travel Agent
I am a wanderer. I blame my star sign (I'm a Sagittarius through and through). I find that as stressful as planning an adventure is, I'd rather do that than go on a pre-planned tour or have a travel agent do it for me (I'm a lil' bit of a control freak like that). It does involve a fair bit of time, but I've listed a number of essential resources to use when you're preparing for an overseas adventure of your own.

The Week With All The No
Welcome to my social experiment, The 52 Delights Project, where I try something new for a week and let you know how (or if) it changed my life! … THE WEEK THAT WAS So, my week with minimal sugar went well. I had a few cravings early on, but once I started my day with [...]

Currently Loving…
Getting gifts of soup from students, buying travel insurance (feels a little more real now), strong coffee, putting together fresh inspiration boards, ticking things off my to do list, sometimes ignoring my to do list, home cooked meals, text messages from my bestie that make me laugh, giving, becoming more comfortable with the whole not-everyone-will-like-you-and-your-blog thing, receiving sweet testimonials, breakfast butt-kicking sessions and cozy nights in.

Australian Fashion Week Favourites
Sometimes when Fashion Week comes around, I wish I had more time to sink into fashion writing. There are always incredible creations on show, stylish people roaming the streets and new trends to discuss. Here are a few of my favourite catwalk shots from Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in Sydney, showcasing some amazing local talent for Spring/Summer 2012.

Do More of What You Love and Less of What You Don’t
It's true that money can't buy you happiness, but it can often buy you time. Time is more valuable than we give it credit for and it's what we all crave when we talk about life balance. What is it that you really want to be spending your time on and what would you happily let go of? Are you like me and have to push away the guilts when you think about delegating to or paying someone to do your "dirty work" or the things you'd rather not do?

The Week Without All The Sugar
I am a sucker for almost every sugary treat in the book; brownies, cakes, pastries, desserts, chocolate - you name it. So making the decision to go (as close to) sugar-free (as I can) this week wasn't an easy one. I could hear my brain panicking "But what if we have a really long, stressful day and need to indulge in some ice-cream? Please don't take that away from us!"

Currently Loving…
Karaoke nights with friends, throw-together-and-hope-for-best salad recipe wins, sneaky late night antipasto platters and drinks with T, making time for wonderful friends, giving life everything I've got, our heater (it has been seriously cold here this week), beautiful breakfasts, handing over a teeny bit of control to the universe, coconut hot chocolates, laughing over silly YouTube clips, vanilla yoghurt and snuggly scarves.

Getting My Glow Back: Health Kick Check Up II
Okay, so the month of April is officially over but I'd like to continue my healthy run into May (if it's okay with you?). I was really making some good progress until about Week 3 when things started to unravel. The weather got really cold and rainy and I found myself crawling back into bed and ignoring the determined little voice in my head trying to coax me to the gym.

The Week With All The Oil
You are all going to think that I have lost the plot and jumped off the deep end when I explain this week's challenge. I saw this post by Jessica from The Wellness Warrior pop up in my Google Reader feed a few days ago and I have to admit, I was intrigued. I am willing to give anything a go once and see how it feels, so this week I am oil pulling.
